On a moped equipped with a gearbox, what riding guideline helps reduce fuel consumption?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

To practice efficient riding and save fuel on a moped with manual gears, you must ride for as much of the time as possible in the highest (longest) gear that traffic and road circumstances allow. In high gears, the engine runs at a lower rev rate to maintain speed, which noticeably reduces fuel consumption and mechanical wear. By contrast, low gears force the engine to turn at high revs, which drives up gasoline use and polluting emissions.
